A Shift in our Work with St. Francis Academy
| Part of our parish dedication to justice and charity during Lent is a commitment to St. Francis Academy in Molo, Kenya. Our original fundraising efforts were going to go toward books, uniforms, and school supplies. However, a more immediate need to drill a bore hole for drinking  water has developed. Gifts from Our Lady of Peace will go toward that endeavor.
Everyone in the parish has the opportunity to help support St. Francis Academy any way they can. Envelopes will be in the pews beginning March 3rd. Our Lady of Peace Catholic School students and Wednesday night religion students will receive envelopes on March 7th. Student envelopes should be returned by March 21st. Parishioner envelopes may be returned by April 1st. More information at www.motohopemission.com

Minnehaha Food Shelf
| Our Lady of Peace is proud to be a contributor to the Minnehaha Food Shelf. Last year we contributed several hundred pounds of food and $2,543.74 to the Minnehaha Food Shelf. Each month the Minnehaha Food Shelf gives out 25,000 pounds of food to needy families. Some of the food is donated, but most is purchased through Second Harvest Heartland. On March 10-11, we will be collecting breakfast foods, e.g., cereal, juice, eggo's, etc. Please place your donations in the boxes outside the entrances of the church. Envelopes will also be available for monetary contributions.
